Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

alleluia cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum

2 Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult in their king.

laetetur Israhel in eo qui fecit eum et filii Sion exultent in rege suo

3 Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

laudent nomen eius in choro in tympano et psalterio psallant ei

4 For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo et exaltabit mansuetos in salute

5 Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

exultabunt sancti in gloria laetabuntur in cubilibus suis

6 High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum

7 on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus increpationes in populis

8 binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

ad alligandos reges eorum in conpedibus et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis

9 to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.

ut faciant in eis iudicium conscriptum gloria haec est omnibus sanctis eius
